Quick Access

GEODIS' Campus Solutions warehouse logistics can help customers to store and receive deliveries in the wake of a surge in activity. Campus Solutions also enable us to act as a fulfillment center as we ship the right order with the right products at the right time, while optimizing operating costs.

The growth of direct-to-consumer distribution can add to the complexity of your supply chain, and demands flexibility and greater visibility over inbound and outbound flows. To deal with the ever-changing aspects of the Retail market, GEODIS’ value proposition changes the game, and moves beyond the traditional way of doing things.

GEODIS orchestrates the flow of products, partly or completely, along the entire supply chain until they reach the shelves. Our Flow Management & Enterprise Solutions offer is not only just about controlling movement. It also involves root cause analysis and pro-active actions to improve your supply chain, with an approach that includes visibility, our Control Tower services and efficient IT solutions.

When it comes to flow management, our range of experts and international presence enable our customers to address stock holding issues. We can keep deliveries coming to the door of your store within required time frames throughout the year, and especially during peak activity. To achieve this, inventory information is key.

Transporting goods from a Distribution Center (DC) to the final point of sale comes with its own logistics constraints and requirements. GEODIS offers an array of services up until the last mile and the last minute, including help for a new product launch or store opening, and more.

When it comes to a brand's promise to match User Experience (UX) & Customer Experience (CX), last mile delivery is now more critical than ever. GEODIS provides a variety of daily in-city solutions, including concierge services.

Nearshoring is fast becoming a Retail trend, with many stakeholders concentrated across several countries in one geographical zone. Destinations are just as plentiful and diverse, which means complex cross-border logistics must achieve their time, cost and revenue objectives. At GEODIS, we use proven expertise to adapt to each country’s logistics and customs laws, regulations and documentation. We are experts in dealing with the additional security, complexity and costs that come with multimodal transport.

When it comes to Virtual Inventory, GEODIS strives to offer unique recommendations based on origin management services. Because Virtual Inventory includes all stock on hand – whether in stores or at a GEODIS warehouse close to your suppliers – we concentrate our efforts on the origin. Our inventory management solutions are designed to provide visibility and control over every stock keeping unit (SKU) and ship it anywhere, anytime, right on schedule.

GEODIS knows from experience that traditional purchase orders and operations often limit further optimization in terms of margin and cost efficiency. Sometimes, if demand for required quantities unexpectedly rises, buyers realize they are running short on an ordered item in the middle of transportation or at a store location.

Manufacturers of mass market products are currently confronted with increasingly demanding consumers and constant pressure on margins. As a response to these challenges, they have developed strategic tools such as logistical resource sharing and new technologies. GEODIS warehouses on logistics campuses offer flexible warehouse solutions that allow you to increase your sales revenue while reducing expenses.

With consumption in mature markets slowing down, manufacturers of consumer goods are facing new challenges: swift changes in distribution channels, the rise of the Internet, pressure on margins, and more. Tailored solutions are a vital way to address these changes.

GEODIS has extensive experience controlling the flow of merchandise through supply chain management. We start by managing financial and physical flows with an emphasis on visibility and traceability, and then adapt the offer to suit your specific needs.

Cross-border logistics requires expertise and visibility, especially when it comes to large volumes and consumer goods. Each country has its own laws, regulations and formalities, and transport must be carefully planned to avoid delays or unforeseen events. Complexity and costs increase when multimodal transport is added to the equation.

When it comes to consumer products, many players and suppliers are concentrated in the same geographical area, covering several countries. While products can be made and used in the same region, they are also often shipped to different destinations. Complex cross-border logistics must therefore be put in place to meet time, cost, and speed-to-market objectives.

GEODIS handles multimodal and cross-border transport in many regions around the world, such as Europe, China and South East Asia, the USA and Mexico. We provide flow tracking from overseas warehousing in good storage conditions to global shipping operations. Thanks to our fully-integrated IT solution GeoFlow, you can keep an eye on all operations and shipments in real time.

When demand fluctuates dramatically, you need to be able to react quickly to get your products on the shelves. They must be available everywhere and immediately, in stores or online. Our Speed to Market offer gives our customers a flexible transport and logistics network to tackle shorter promotional operations and faster product launches.

At GEODIS, we put our experience to work for you as we optimize all or part of your supply chain. Our Flow Management offer contains services that we carefully adapt to meet your specific needs. This starts by managing financial and physical flows, which is why we focus on visibility and traceability.

Our Aftermarket Services for the Industrial market include same-day delivery with Flow Management, and of course a single point of contact, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. GEODIS will pick up your spare parts from your suppliers’ warehouse to consolidate them on one of our platforms. We can also optimize stock levels on a Logistics Campus, perform value-added operations, and then deliver to your customers.

In the Industrial market, a comprehensive overview of flows is key to managing daily activities and inventory. GEODIS offers a turnkey solution that allows you to manage your purchase orders, oversee their fulfillment, invoice and improve the quality of your services through the analysis of supply chain data. It's called a Control Tower, and it is a perfect way to schedule, implement and manage your logistical, physical, data, and financial flows, with clear visibility and traceability of operations on the ground.

At GEODIS, we orchestrate inbound and outbound logistics flows for our Industrial customers, as well as providing aftermarket and technical services in our logistics campus.

Optimizing freight transportation requires a closely integrated network on a global scale, especially when it comes to large Industrial projects. At GEODIS, we have been using our market expertise to secure our Industrial customers' flows for years.

GEODIS offers world-class logistics solutions for Industrial Projects, no matter what size, complexity, or exceptional constraints the project demands – including building or moving a factory. By their very nature, Industrial Projects can involve large sizes, weights and values, as well as fragile materials and hazardous situations. When you add complex environments, geographies and legislation into the mix, it is clear that this type of activity requires a level of logistics and transportation security that includes robust permanent operational procedures (POP). GEODIS has been using its recognized experience and expertise in this area with customers for years.

GEODIS' warehouses on a logistics campus can help your plant or facility receive just-in-time components for your production line, or deliver an exceptional batch of products anywhere in the world.

At GEODIS, we understand that our customers' production schedule is a top priority – entire assembly lines can rely on one single element. Therefore, as we manage the logistics of materials and components for our customers, we engage in just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing. This helps us respond to changing product specifications and anticipate the needs of even our customers' customers. At the same time, we strategically locate our warehouses to serve the required plants within our customers' most complex scenarios.

GEODIS has years of experience and expertise in automotive industry logistics, with a host of capabilities and services to offer in the area of CKD/SKD. We take a flexible approach to address your individual requirements for these specific tasks, because no two companies are the same.

Auto parts in complete or semi knockdown (CKD/SKD) condition are often used in car manufacturing, especially to reach developing markets and optimize production fees or taxation. When it comes to CKD/SKD activity, GEODIS can conduct the handling, consolidation and packaging of your parts and components.

Cross-border logistics demand expertise and visibility. However, every country has its own different laws, regulations and specific documentation requirements – transport must be planned accordingly while mitigating the risk of possible delays due to customs clearance. Complexity and costs increase even further when multimodal transport is involved.

The way companies deal with containers and packaging in logistics can create real cost efficiency, help achieve a reduced carbon footprint and maintain compliance with new laws and regulations. GEODIS manages all sorts of containers and packaging, often returning them back into the supply chain in almost mint condition. Our experience shows us that waste disposal should only be conducted when absolutely necessary, and even then in the greenest and most cost-efficient way possible.

GEODIS' pick & pack service usually starts where a shipment begins its journey: at the origin. Products are taken directly from your supplier to a GEODIS warehouse, where they are picked and packed to be dispatched to the production customer via cross-docking. From order reception, through to adapting to your packaging bundling, we guarantee a complete fulfilment cycle and on-time delivery.

With over thirty years of experience in automotive logistics, GEODIS performs a wide array of highly complex services for sub-assembly in multiple manufacturing-support operations.

Customs operations are an integral part of international transport. However, they can also delay the circulation of products and lead to extra expenses. In addition, product- and sector-specific rules can sometimes lead to shipments being held at customs. This is why customs clearance services should never be ad hoc, they should always be perfectly controlled.

GEODIS has vast management expertise in the Aerospace and Defense sector, with experts committed to optimizing your supply chain. We'll support you with an all-inclusive offer for managing your purchase orders and invoices while improving your service.

The aviation, space, and defense markets are expanding. With around 28,000 aircraft in use around the world, the market for maintenance – including repairs and major modifications – has grown considerably, and has begun to impact our customers’ supply chains. At the same time, European and American companies are now facing the increasing power of Asian and Middle Eastern airline companies. Growing geopolitical instability has led to a surge in defense markets around the world, which in turn has caused increased operational maintenance issues. It is now more important than ever to reduce expenses and optimize your supply chain.
